“This is the tragedy of civilization: its very “greatness”—its panoply of wealth and power—turns against it and brings it down.”
William Ophuls, Immoderate Greatness: Why Civilizations Fail

William Shakespeare
“When valor preys on reason,
it eats the sword it fights with.”
William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra

“We are hurtling toward a day of ecological reckoning. We should have acted many years ago to contain the damage and build a bridge to a different kind of civilization. Now we are faced with an increased population, worse pollution, dwindling resources, progressive biological destruction, much greater complexity, compounding debt, and enormous inertia in the system—a nexus of problems that have no separate solutions, only an aggregate solution requiring a total revolution in our way of life.”
William Ophuls, Apologies to the Grandchildren: Reflections on Our Ecological Predicament, Its Deeper Causes, and Its Political Consequences

Yukio Mishima
“Ordinary life is even more horrible than war”
Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask

Jose R. Coronado
“It's intelligence mixed with less than innocence, it's cruelty mixed with a sense of elegance. It's a trap set for seduction to those that are persuaded by speech.”
Jose R. Coronado, The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey
